Default I need help

Well, here I am again - hat in hand and asking for guidance. I am installing the aileron pushrods on my new Sig Four Star Forty. This is my second plane - my first plane was a Sig LT-40. The aileron pushrods on the Four Star install differently from the aileron pushrods on my LT-40. The Four Star aileron pushrods attach to the aileron torque rods by the use of solder links. You retain the links on the pushrods by actually soldering them in place. That is my problem. I tried using a Weller soldering gun and I am just not able to heat the pushrod and link enough to get the solder to "stick." [>:] Any suggestions? [sm=confused.gif]
